1 answer:

ch4aika [34]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

5/8 is about 1/2. 2/6 is about 0.

Step-by-step explanation: 2/6 is about 0 because 2 is close to 0. If the numerator is close to 0 and the denominator is not close to 0 then the benchmark is going to be 0. If the numerator is about half of the denominator then the benchmark is going to be 1/2. If the numerator and denominator is close to each other than the benchmark is going to be 1.

Jordan estimated that his paper airplane would fly 42 feet. It actually traveled 50 feet. What was the percent error?

topjm [15]

$\huge \mathcal{ Answer࿐}$

Error (e) = 50 - 42 = 8 feet

assumed value (a) = 42 feet

$\boxed{ \mathrm{ \% \: error = \dfrac{error}{assumed \: value} \times 100}}$

$\mathrm{ \% \: error =\dfrac{8}{42}} \times 100$

$\mathrm{ \% \: error = \dfrac{800}{42} }$

$\mathrm{ \% \: error = 19.04 \%}$
